? nefandous ?
Pronunciation: n?-f?n-d?s ?
Part of Speech: Adjective
Meaning: (Archaic) Unspeakably horrible, abominable, atrocious.
Notes: Despite sharing the origin of nefandous, nefarious refers to something wicked or evil but not unspeakably horrible. When something is genuinely unspeakably horrible, it is best to use a word that is almost never spoken itself. Nefandous is an alternative that only a handful of devoted verbivores will recognize. This word is a bit archaic but that shouldn't matter to those of us who are a bit archaic ourselves.
